Plantage Parklaan 8, Amsterdam, Netherlands

morning server was terrible, rude, not pleasant stay at all, rooms are small , never again terrible if you are travelling alone or maybe couples you may be OK but family stay was realy bad, no elevator, shortesr and narrowest stairs i have ever seen, good luck if you decide to stay this is my worst hotel experience in the europe

"Need more informations."

The staff of this hotel is not the best one... they don't try that hard to help you out... When you book the hotel on easybook, they say at the hotel policy that you can pay it with credit cards, but when you get there they don't take any credit cards...

"Awesome friendly basic budget hotel"

Amazingly helpful staff, a real hostel type vibe but with all nice people. They sorted the issue we had really fast and helped us with maps etc. And it isn't a long walk from the main parts of town either.

"Hotel Hortus, Amsterdam"

Nice hotel, breakfast included was nothing special but all-you-can-eat so filled us up for the whole morning. Had no problems waiting for shared bathroom / toilet. Room had TV, which was good. We slept well, but had only sleep for 2hrs in the airport the night before, so would have slept well anywhere!

"Average hotel in quiet surroundings"

You can reach the hotel within half an hour walk from the railway station (knowing the way and without luggage). It's located in quiet surroundings with a tram stop nearby.Our room was big enough for two but there was NO facility to hang up the towels and not enough space for our clothes. The tiny shared bathroom must be a challenge for corpulent people but we liked the coffee and the friendly man cleaning the dishes in the morning and helping the guests in every way.In my opinion it is not necessary to have a Safe and TV in every room but to make them cheaper.

"Amazing value!"

My friend and I went on a budget two day trip to Amsterdam and were amazed at how amazing this hotel was. Have already reccommended it to my friends! The beds are literally the most comfotable beds I have slept on in my life and the free breakfast was a lot better than I am used to of just toast and cereal, there was also hard boiled eggs, ham and cheese and a toaster at each table. Facilities are kept extremely clean and shared toilets/bathroom was never an issue as they are so clean and I never had to wait in line to use them.

"Great for a weekend with friends"

Really friendly staff, great location, loads of toasters for making your own toast every nothing and bikes for hire. Chilled out atmosphere, very much a hostel feel!

"Fantastic stay!"

After a very friendly welcome, we were very impressed with the quality of our room. Location is great, only ten minutes walk from some of the best of Amsterdam. Struggling to find any negative points really. Would highly recommend this hotel!

"Good Hostel-type Hotel"

We had a good experience at this hostel. The staff are really friendly, free breakfast and tea and coffee, free use of kitchen facilities.Everything is clean, which is good.Our double room was as big as a match box but it was cosy and was fine for our stay. The cost for this match box however was really pricey, but I think tha'ts all over for Amsterdam, it's expensive to stay in. The shower and toilet area also very tiny.Overall, good stay.

"Amazing hotel!"

Went through Sheffield, London, Amsterdam, and Antwerp last week, and amongst all those hotels, Hortus was by far the best! Bend-over-backwards good service, a stellar location (quiet *and* only a 15 minute walk from Centraal Station), plus a spotless room. Whenever I make it back there, I'll assuredly stay there every time.

"Lovely"

Very clean and nice hotel! I will definitely stay there again when I'm back in Amsterdam even though the breakfast was quite poor (sandwhiches and muesli only).

To start the hotel smelled and looked dirty. The room smelled like they had been smoking in the hotel the entire night with the windows closed. The shower looked so dirty we did not even shower in it. The bathrooms outside were dirty as well. You could hear people opening and closing doors, running up and down the stairs the entire night.

"Service is poor"

Room is tiny. Location is not bad. Not very happy about the service provided by one of the staff as he was not friendly at all. Service was poor. The rest was just acceptable.

"3 night stay"

Night staff were laid back and helpfull, smoker friendly hotel with clean rooms and shared bathroom also very clean. Perfect location about 15 minute to the town centre with plenty of restaurants, coffee shops and cafes along the way. Our safe was broke in our room and there were no towels provided. Breakfast was reasonable and aso we had a tv in our room which showed some programmes in english! :)

"The hotel is very good situated in amsterdam, only 4 tram stations to the..."

Pros: The hotel is very good situated in amsterdam, only 4 tram stations to the dam or 15 min walk. it's across the bothanical garden and you can smell fresh flowers in the morning from your window.
Cons: Just be careful while chosing the room, it could be a very small one, like 1.5m2.
